Free Music Review: Drasnin Exotica
Hit: 5 Stars
First that this CD was cut in 2007, by now 80 year old Robert Drasnin as an updated version of his his nearly 50 year old Voodoo exotica sessions is remarkable. What Drasnin has done is take the basic Martin Denny/Arthur Lyman instrument lineup & added cello/flute, almost like a Les Baxter Tiki Chamber Ensemble. The cuts are well written, some have very cool endings you would expect from the former CBS music director.The extra instrumentation takes the lead line burden off the vibes &/or piano making the overall effort sound fresh. The solo female choral singing also adds to the mood. Sonics are pretty darn good & proves that talent can produce a fine exotica effort whether its 1957 OR 2007!
Voodoo II Poster
Over ten years after the reissue of "Voodoo" and almost fifty since the release of the original, Dionysus Records unveils ROBERT DRASNIN's Voodoo II. Combining ROBERT DRASNIN's beautiful aquatic-like composition with all elements necessary for the exotica sound such as marimba, percussion, flue, piano and more; Voodoo II is destined to become as much of an exotica classic as it's predecessor. The original "Voodoo" (a/k/a "Percussion Exotique") was recorded in the late ?"50s and released on two budget labels; Tops and Mayfair, insuring its place in obscurity; that is until it's mid-?"90s resurrection/reissue on Bacchus Archives. The record received its proper place as a representative piece of the genre making a whole lot of Tiki and Cocktail fans very happy. The story didn't stop there. ROBERT DRASNIN, accomplished jazz musician, musical director at CBS television in the ?"50s and ?"60s (Mission Impossible and then some) and music teacher at UCLA, was asked to play Voodoo live at Tiki festivals all the way across the country. In the process, Robert was inspired to compose songs for Voodoo II. The new record was recorded with a small combo in February of 2007. The 12 songs from the new album will be performed live at the yearly Hukilau event in Florida. And, like the "Voodoo" reissue, the cover art for "Voodoo II" was created by artist SHAG.Pop Music CDs
